| Is Direct Drive Really Better? The universality of torque aside, Walker's cut-belt demonstration was a bit of circus stunt. Of course the pitch and tempo of the record dropped during the 20 seconds -- that's a fact of nature -- it just did so slowly and not very much, so nobody... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas my point is that in life one assumes innocent until proven otherwiseThat's life (or really only the platonic ideal of the justice system) -- this is the internet. Also, on the internet as in life, one should try to be cognizant of the rules of the... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Agree with the viewpoint that, in principle (all other things being equal, which they probably won't be in reality), there should be no difference between torque stored as inertia in a high mass platter, and torque as applied by the motor -- at le... | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 Unsound: I like the appearance of the signature sloped baffles (as have other manufacturers who've copied Thiel's look to one degree or another), and understand why they're necessary in JT's design philosophy, but believe they might contribute to ... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Mrtennis: Go back and reread my first post. If you were sincere, your seemingly highly satirical method of communicating it -- especially in light of your total lack of Audiogon history -- was completely out of whack. Sincere contributors, while t... | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 Do Wilko and G.E. look alike? Never noticed. I'm glad they don't sound alike though, I'm a Dr. Feelgood fan (doubt that JT listens to either one however ;^) | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas if people just used logic and took my request literally at face valueMembers using logic and taking your words at face value is what got us here in the first place Mrtennis. Let's revisit some of those words for a moment, shall we?"i like a dull, ... | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 Pops: I can picture the 6.2, it'll have the same basic layout as the 3.7 (a little taller and deeper I'm sure) but feature a midbass driver in that expanse of baffle between the woofer and the coaxial mid/tweet. The 7.3 will be similar to that, ex... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Dave: Off on the years -- but right on for giving Mrtennis the recommendation he surely deserves ;^) | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Now *that's* funny -- a Bose recommendation from a guy who recalls listening to CD's back in the 70's ;^) | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Mrtennis really Mr. Gillette? Nah -- Sam Tellig is funny. Hey, maybe he's really John McEnroe or Jimmy Connors... | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 With the round top and elliptical back, it may turn out to be somewhat reminiscent of a B&W Nautilus 802. R2D2-chic, anyone? Anyway, if the sound represents an advancement, I'm sure many 3.6 owners can get over the looks. At around a reported ... | |
| is it just me, new Steely Dan cd's too brite snare is it just me, old Kingsmen LP's too incomprehensible vocal | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 See also this archived thread. As for the strange looks of the drivers, I'd warrant that Jim Thiel wouldn't have gone to the trouble unless the corrugations enabled lighter (which would mean thinner) yet stiffer diaphragms. Fortunately, Thiel has ... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas Ta da! Behold Mrtennis' first thread and only Agon post (under that moniker anyway). Insincere, yet unfunny. Wonder if there'll ever be another? If so (and you're welcome by all -- even if you're a skeptic/critic), I'd suggest tweaking the approac... |
